Subject: x86: kvm Require const tsc for RT
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:26:18 +0100
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.13-rt10.tar.xz
Non constant TSC is a nightmare on bare metal already, but with
virtualization it becomes a complete disaster because the workarounds
are horrible latency wise. That's also a preliminary for running RT in
a guest on top of a RT host.
